Configurations (Linux)

apt-get install x-window-system

Once X installed proceed with gnome, following packages are minimum but gives you gnome gui based interface… so on it's easier to add other packages from synaptic.

apt-get install gnome-core gdm synaptic

Be careful on you /et/apt/source.list file- if the CDROm is un-commented then installation will begin from CDRom otherwise it will download from internet… it's a relatively bigger downloads!

When things go wrong, there are ways to fix problems. However, these methods require that you understand the system well. This chapter will describe the ways that you can boot into rescue mode and single user mode, where you can use your own knowledge to repair the system.

This is a guide on setting up Tomcat to do virtual hosting and make it behave like a simple webserver with jsp and servlet support, for many different sites all hosted on the same IP address. The aim is to have a single directory for each virtual host, which can be manipulated individually without hassles from managing multiple .war files and other configuration difficulties.

To configure Tomcat for a virtual host, you need a <Host ..> directive in the server.xml file, and a ROOT.xml file in the conf/Catalina/$host directory. Here's the minimal setup required for a copy of Tomcat serving directly on Port 80, using no connectors or other configuration difficulties.

This was written for Tomcat 5 on linux, with Tomcat installed in /usr/local/tomcat

We start with the simplest configuration, of one website, called 'localhost' which keeps it's files in /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/localhost . We're not using any .war files here – all the files are placed straight into the directory.

Zipping a Directory

zip is a compression and file packaging utility for Unix, Linux, VMS, MSDOS, OS/2, Windows NT, Minix, Atari and Macintosh, Amiga and Acorn RISC OS etc. This utility is installed by default on most Linux computers. he program is useful for packaging a set of files for distribution; for archiving files; and for saving disk space by temporarily compressing unused files or directories.

To zip directory called pics in your home directory (/home/you/pics), type the following command:

$ zip -r myvacationpics.zip /home/you/pics/

It recurse into directories (all files and directories inside pics) to produced zip file called myvacationpics.zip.

Unzipping a Directory

unzip command will list, test, or extract files from a ZIP archive, commonly found on MS-DOS systems. The default behavior (with no options) is to extract into the current
directory (and subdirectories below it) all files from the specified ZIP archive.

By default, all files and subdirectories are recreated in the current directory; the -d option allows extraction in an arbitrary directory (always assuming one has permission to write to the directory). This option need not appear at the end of the command line; it is also accepted before the zipfile specification (with the normal options), immediately after the zipfile specification, or between the file(s) and the -x option. The option and directory may be concatenated without any white space between them, but note that this may cause normal shell behavior to be suppressed.

Syntax:
unzip {.zip-file-name}-d {/path/to/extract}

For example extract package.zip into /opt, enter:
# unzip package.zip -d /opt
# cd /opt
# ls

If you want to rename package directory use mv command:
# mv package newname

By Using YUM these compiler and libraries can be setup-

• GCC compiler
• C/C++ development libraries
• GD development libraries

For GCC, C/C++-

yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake

For GD-

yum install gd gd-devel php-gd

On Debian/Linux to install GCC use-

# apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
# apt-get install build-essential
# gcc -v
# make -v

That's it!
